This document discusses designing a product service system to connect local food producers and consumers in the Nordjylland region of Denmark. It provides context that local production and consumption have environmental and economic benefits but are currently disconnected. It poses questions about identifying local producers and users, facilitating connections between them, ownership of the connecting service, and timing of production and consumption. Examples of similar systems in Delight Assist and Frokost Kureren are briefly described. The workshop activity is to research local producers and networks, places for consumption, and map the existing system.

4. Context
• Use of local product has a lower
impact on the environment,
because of the reduced
transportation costs
• Use of local production is
increasing value to local
economies
• Local production and
consumption are often very
close to each other, but they

ignore each other

5. The production side
• Who are the
local
producers?
• Where are
they located

6. The Consumption side
• Who are the users?
• How can they know about local
producers?
• Where can they meet/find local
products?

9. Other questions
• Who should own the service?
• What are the touch points?
• What is the timing between
production and use?
• Is there a place or an
organisation or a network of
organisations that mediates
between production and
consumption?

13. Activity to the beginning of the workshop
• Look for local producers and
what they produce
• Look at existing networks/sale
points for local products
• Look at places for consumption
• Map the system, possibly
emphasize relevant points
